Software engineer and founder of SketySoft, focused on backend development, cloud technologies, automation and AI-native software engineering.
About
I’m a software engineer with an MSc in Software Design with Cloud Native Computing, focused on backend development, cloud technologies, automation and AI-native software engineering. My technical background includes Java, networking, databases, REST APIs, microservices, Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD.
I enjoy taking ideas from initial research and architecture through implementation to production-ready systems, using LLMs throughout the development process while staying actively involved in technical decisions, validation and refinement. I’m particularly interested in LLMs, agentic systems, AI tooling and modern software engineering workflows.
My route into software started with Oracle’s Java certifications, followed by computing studies at NCI and an MSc at TUS. Through SketySoft I build websites and software, and my own products, starting with Password Forge for Android.

Projects
Generate strong passwords and keep them in a local encrypted vault on your Android device. No account, no ads, no cloud sync.
A cloud-native pay-parking platform built as a work-placement project. Drivers scan a QR sign, book without an account and pay with Stripe; wardens check plates; council staff run the car parks from an admin console. Modelled on Enniscorthy's published 2025 parking schedule.
A library management system built as six Spring Boot and Spring Cloud services, with service discovery, central configuration, an API gateway, JWT authentication, circuit breakers and distributed tracing. The whole stack runs locally with Docker Compose.
A Romanian-language marketing website for an auto detailing business, live at nvautodetailing.com. A static site on Netlify with service pages, a filterable portfolio, a contact form and a serverless function that shows the business's Google reviews.
A Spring Boot REST API for libraries and their books, with a large JUnit 5 and Karate test suite and a Jenkins pipeline that tests, measures coverage, runs SonarQube analysis, builds a Docker image and deploys a local container.
